As a JavaScript developer, you’re probably familiar with basic arithmetic operators like +, -, * and / to do simple math. But JavaScript contains a ton of powerful built-in math methods ready to handle more complex numerical feats.
In this article, we’ll explore some of JavaScript’s underused but easy-to-master math superpowers. Understanding these methods allows you to write cleaner code and focus on the programming instead of the math.
We’ll cover:
- Rounding decimals up and down
- Generating random numbers
- Finding max and min values
- And more secret math weapons JavaScript keeps up its sleeve
So if you’re ready to do complex math calculations with less code, power up your JavaScript skills with these built-in math methods!
Rounding Made Simple with round(), floor() and ceil()
Rounding decimal numbers is a common need in programming. And in JavaScript, you have three simple methods dedicated for that:
round() — rounds to the nearest whole number
floor() — always rounds down
ceil() — always…
